Ezekiel:36:16-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land ,
they defiled it by their own way and by their doings :
their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman .
*
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land ,
and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it :
*
And I scattered them among the heathen ,
and they were dispersed through the countries :
according to their way and according to their doings I judged them .
*
And when they entered unto the heathen ,
whither they went ,
they profaned my holy name ,
when they said to them ,
These are the people of the LORD ,
and are gone forth out of his land .
*
But I had pity for mine holy name ,
which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen ,
whither they went .
*
Therefore say unto the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I do not this for your sakes ,
O house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
but for mine holy names sake ,
which ye have profaned among the heathen ,
whither ye went .
*
And I will sanctify my great name ,
which was profaned among the heathen ,
which ye have profaned in the midst of them ;
and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes .
*
For I will take you from among the heathen ,
and gather you out of all countries ,
and will bring you into your own land .
